Essay: Imagine that you are facing a challenge and you are not sure you can be successful. Name three things you could do to raise your belief in yourself.
Student Answer: If facing a challenge where I was worried about being successful, I would remind myself of previous scenarios where I had this fear but worked through it and was ultimately successful. I would also be kind and patient with myself, recognizing that the task ahead would likely be challenging, but that, with continued and consistent effort, I could succeed. I would also make a conscious effort to have a growth mindset, knowing that where I start--the knowledge and skillset--does not wholly determine where I will end up and that effort and positive self talk is very important in daunting scenarios. |
